More than 1,000 people have been killed in Myanmar and thousands more injured following a 7.7 magnitude earthquake that was also felt in neighbouring countries.
Hundreds are believed to be trapped under the rubble of collapsed buildings – including at least 50 construction workers who are unaccounted for after a high-rise was flattened by the earthquake in Bangkok, Thailand.
More than 90 people are believed trapped in the rubble of an apartment block in Mandalay, Myanmar, a Red Cross official tells AFP.
A rescue team in Mandalay tells the BBC: “We are digging people out with our bare hands.”
